Compared to the 14 movies Marvel already has in the can, DC’s only got three at this point - Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad. Only one so far, Man of Steel, was an origin story as DC’s catch-up plan is to more or less hit the ground running with these films and dive right in.

Having debuted in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman will star in her own solo adventure, to be released June 2nd, 2017. Serving as both a period piece and an origin tale, Wonder Woman will take us back to WWI and tell the story of how Amazonian Princess Diana met Chris Pine’s stranded pilot, Steve Trevor, and left the island of Themyscira to join the war effort. Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright co-star while Danny Huston (rumored to secretly be the God of War Ares) serves as the main villain.

On November 17th, 2017, a full-fledged Justice League movie will land on our laps, with Cavill, Affleck, and Gadot reprising their roles as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Making their official non-cameo debuts will be Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ezra Miller’s Flash, and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg. Zack Snyder directs as DC’s metahumans unite to take on Ciaran Hinds’ Steppenwolf (who’s on a mission for DC mega-baddie Darkseid). Also, Willem Dafoe will join the mix as Nuidis Vulko and Kiersey Clemons is rumored to first appear as the movie-verse version of Iris West.

Intended to be more humorous in tone than previous DV-verse films, The Flash is still looking for a director at this point as both Seth Grahame-Smith and Dope’s Rick Famuyiwa have exited the project. Based on a treatment by The LEGO Movie’s Phil Lord and Chris Miller, The Flash is scheduled for a March 3rd, 2018 release. Billy Crudup has signed on to play Barry Allen’s dad, Henry, while it’s also rumored that Cyborg will appear in the film in some capacity.

Scheduled for an October 5th, 2018 premiere, James Wan’s Aquaman solo film will not be an origin story like the Wonder Woman movie. Instead it will follow Momoa’s Aquaman, and Amber Heard’s Mera, on a swashbuckling high seas adventure that may involve a giant monster or two. Patrick Wilson has signed on to play “Ocean Master” Orm while rumors still circulate that Black Manta will be the Big Bad.

Coming April 5th, 2019 is Shazam! - the story of young Billy Batson’s transformation into the all-powerful hero Shazam, previously “Captain Marvel” and one of comics’ oldest, enduring heroes. For star power, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is already on board as main baddie Black Adam. Rumored to have a “tone unto itself,” Shazam! may be the most separate of the DCEU movies to date. It’s being executive produced by The Hobbit’s Toby Emmerich and penned by Jack the Giant Slayer’s Darren Lenke.

Breaking: It’s just now being reported that Shazam! is now being split into two movies, with Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam getting his own film. It's not known at this time whether or not Johnson will still play Black Adam in the Shazam! movie, or which film will even come first at this point.

Rebuilt by his father after a devastating injury, Ray Fisher’s Cyborg will have already been featured in at least three DC films before getting his own solo movie on April 3rd, 2020. No plot details have been released though Fisher has stated in interviews that the story will involve Cyborg’s inner turmoil and struggles to stay in touch with his human side.

With a target date of July 24th, 2020, Green Lantern Corps will introduce us to a new cinematic version of Hal Jordan (previously played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2011 movie) while also focusing on the John Stewart character, team up-style. Described as “Lethal Weapon in space,” Batman v Superman scribe David Goyer is currently penning the script along with Justin Rhodes (Grassroots, Contract Killers).

With Deathstroke as one of its many villains, The Batman - which will feature Ben Affleck as the star, co-writer, and director (well, we’ll see about that last one) - doesn’t have a release date as of yet. Because of this, and Affleck’s belief that movies shouldn’t be reverse engineered to serve a scheduled opening weekend, the Justice League sequel has been pushed back. All that aside though, The Batman will be an original non-origin story that will most certainly NOT feature Thomas and Martha Wayne being gunned down again.

In 2015, Guillermo del Toro stepped away from the Justice League Dark project that he’d been developing for a few years, but Dark Universe is still a go apparently - now with Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, The Bourne Identity) at the helm and edgy, black magic-based DC characters John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna, and Madame Xanadu as its main characters.

Another project currently in the works is the Suicide Squad spinoff Gotham City Sirens, featuring Margot Robbie reprising the role of Harley Quinn for a story based on the comic series by Paul Dini that pairs Quinn up with fellow feisty anti-heroines Catwoman and Poison Ivy. Tomb Raider scribe Geneva Robertson-Dworet is on board to write the screenplay.

With The Batman's release date now up in the air, the Justice League sequel, which was originally scheduled for June 14th, 2019, has been pushed back. There's no other news available right now for this mega team-up movie other than the fact that it's DC's chance to wrangle everyone back together for a big galaxy-slinging adventure.

Work has begun on the screenplay for the Man of Steel sequel, with star Henry Cavill reportedly taking more of an active role as a producer this go-round. There’s no other news to report here other than Man of Steel 2 is on the way.

Also headed our way at some point is an official Suicide Squad sequel. We don’t know how or where this film will fit into DC’s giant slate of upcoming films, but director David Ayer has stated that he’s pushing for an R-rating this time. Whatever the case, we’re likely to see Gotham City Sirens first so Harley will get her own story before heading back to the squad. Keep in mind too that we’ll also probably get a Deadshot solo film in the future, starring Will Smith.

Beyond Suicide Squad 2, there are plenty of other characters and stories rumored to be in the works for eventual films including the time-traveling Booster Gold, the "Main Man" and space-jerk Lobo, and of course the continued dark plan of the villainous Darkseid himself. Time will only tell where the DCEU movies will go next, so stay tuned...
